welsh dragon

I'm not really into all that flag waving (there's always a 'but' after a statement like that, isn't there?) but I do love the Welsh flag. I mean on a visual level. I just think it is a great looking flag, that's all.

I bought this little ceramic Welsh dragon while on holiday in Snowdonia. I was going to post it for the 'souvenir' challenge but I have a whole list of souvenirs that I intend to draw. I do like to come home from everywhere I visit with at least one piece of tat.

And, in answer to a question I was once asked when holiday in the States; NO, there are not still dragons in Wales!

Yes, it IS a goodlooking flag! Coincidentally, I drew a dragon today, too, but you can hardly recognize it, smushed as it is under a woman warrior's feet. Your souvenir is drawn beautifully, Andrea. Your sketchblog is a visual treat!
